Optimizing User Accounts Management with Automation in SAP SuccessFactors
The success of any corporate training project isn’t just ensuring compliance and talent growth – it’s also about long-term sustainability. Your talent development process must adapt and improve constantly, responding to changes and the evolving needs of the business and the stories of the persons involved.
The Challenge of Multiple User Profiles
Consider the case of Nadia, who was initially hired as an external contractor. After completing the necessary training, her achievements were recorded in the company’s Learning Management System (LMS). Later Nadia was re-hired as a full-time employee. Unfortunately, her new user profile did not include the courses she had previously completed, forcing her to repeat the entire training process.
This scenario is not unique. Take, for example:
- John, who moved to a new project team in Indonesia and suddenly couldn’t access his certifications from the previous year.
- Carl, a highly skilled individual with multiple roles within the company, found conflicts in his training schedule due to having multiple accounts.
These examples highlight how challenging it can be to manage multiple contracts or roles for the same person if training data isn’t unified. This situation can lead to management chaos, wasting valuable time and resources, besides frustration in people repeating the training more times.
Why Unifying Training Data Matters
- A fragmented view of skills and training progress can emerge, making it hard to get a complete picture.
- Manual operations to unify data are labor-intensive and prone to errors.
To prevent these issues, it’s crucial to have a system that continuously monitors the overall status of users and handles multiple accounts automatically.
The Solution: User Merge Automation
To address this problem, we developed an innovative solution: User Merge Automation for SF Learning. With this automation, the system can:
- Automatically identify new accounts created in the LMS as soon as any person is assigned with a new position.
- Initiate the merge process to transfer all training data to the user’s primary profile.
- Accurately complete the merge, with detailed logs capturing every action taken.
